I really don’t like a kitchen knife until I have used it for a number of years… but there is one that impressed me right from the start. From the ergonomically designed handle to the curved blades ( In use, I roll my blades) this is a great tool.
Kershaw’s Shun Chef Knife is perfect for big jobs, odd jobs and practically everything. On the Williams-Sonoma Site there is a great video of the Shun knives and an insight into their philosophy.
Although the old swords of the Samurai were made — legend says — of steel rolled hundreds of times, the Shun Chef’s knife was rolled 32 times… which ought to make it very durable!
If I had only one knife… this would be it.
